In 1936, he was named a Regional Manager of the Chicago Regional Office of the Laborers' Union, the largest region in the International Union.
Fosco established a remarkable record of achievement in Chicago. He was chairman for many years of the organizing committee for heavy and highway construction that led the way to unionization of this important field in the Chicago area.
Fosco has spent many years organizing the pipeline industry nationally and establishing decent wages, standards and working conditions for its workers.
In that field, Fosco was instrumental in negotiations this year that led to a special 19-state pension plan covering the South and parts of the Mid-West in the mainline pipeline industry.
As General Secretary-Treasurer, Fosco continued to build on the record he established in Chicago. He is an influential leader of the building trades and serves as a member of the Executive Council of the AFL-CIO's Building Trades Department and is one of the five members of the Department's administrative Committee which sets the Department's policy.
